We are pleased to announce the release of Zenphoto 1.1.7 - all the information is up on the News page.

We are especially happy to announce new language support:
French translation [thanks, fetard]
Dutch translation [thanks, Vincent]
Traditional Chinese translation [thans, fatman]

and of course an update to the first language, German translation [thansk acrylian]

Good work! I'm happy to see the development of this software is so very much alive . And not only the development, also the participation of visitors on the forum.

I noticed on the trac pages (roadmap) that version 1.2 was also planned for a release around this time. But I guess those dates are just speculations?
I'm really looking forward to the move/copy/delete function. I'm not adding any custom title or description to any photo or album until then .

Thanks! We post indeed postponed 1.2 to get some more stuff worth a 1.2 done (like some reworkings on the admin backend for example).

As for the custom title, you could use EXIF as a workaround.

I guess I'll have to be patient because I don't want to use the EXIF stuff and don't want to do all the work twice. I'm sure that I will be renaming and moving images and albums in the future, as the collection of images grows and the organisation will change accordingly. And changing title + description through that very nice 'on the spot' AJAX editing is absolutely great!
So I'll wait. Sigh...

can anyone tell me if the bug with the rating is fixed?

Should be fixed, but we had to take out the ajax stuff for now. But why don't you just try?...:-)

I noticed the tag editing has changed in this version ( I was using 1.1.5). Is there a reason for this, I have a lot of tag and on my admin edit page, it takes forever to get through the editing and adding tags process. It seemed easier in 1.1.5. Any suggestions short of downgrading? I love the product otherwise. Easy and simple.

You can still use the Ajax inline editing of the tags on the image/album page (so long as you theme displays them.)

And, yes, there is a reason (we are not capricious!) Tags are being moved out of the album/image record into a table for better management. I'm not sure what you find difficult about the checkbox approach to tag management, though. It prevents accidental misspellings and is much clearer about what constitutes an integral tag.

It also allows you to delete a tag completely rather than having to find its occurance in each place it is used and delete it there.

There is a small problem with brand new installs or upgrades from prior to 1.1.6 having to do with setting the language. You will not be able to change the language from HTTP Accept Language.

This may be corrected by placing the following script in your zp-core folder and then executing it: http://www.mydomain.com/zenphoto/zp-core/fixlocale.php

[i] can anyone tell me if the bug with the rating is fixed? [/i]

why the rating doesn't work with stopdesign? what a bummer..

Because it's not implemented, it's really not htat hard to add that function. Just take a look a the default theme.

image_album_statistics v1.0.4.4

can you tell me why this doesn't work? ^^ what is this for a function, exactly?

As I said you have to add the function to your theme to use it (rating is not the same as image_album_statistic): http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/zenphoto/_plugins---rating.php.html

Yes, dude, I did that... I'm asking about this plugin: image_album_statistics v1.0.4.4 .........

Ok, before you asked about rating..:-) That plugin is a collection of several functions and you have to add them to your theme, too. You find all info about that in our functions guide, too (you guessed it, don't you?...:-)).

@acryliaN : I think ZP need a re-factory for its admin page code.

What do you mean exactly? Btw, we changed a few things in the nightly.

i tried the fixlocale.php but got the following error;

Zenphoto Error
Reqûete MySQL ( INSERT INTO zp_options (name, value, ownerid) VALUES ('locale','en_US', 0) ) a échoué. Erreuruplicate entry 'locale-0' for key 2

My new installation of 1.1.7 is working but is in French (presumably because that is where I live and/or server is based) and I would like to siwtch it to English

cest42:

fixlocale.php is there only if you can't change the language from the admin gallery option pages. In your case, the error you got running it means that you did not have the problem it fixes.

You should just change the language selection form admin to English (US).

That isn't working (in Options, Gallery). I also tried the HTTP Accept Language Option but everything still comes up in French. Did I miss something in the setup where I could have forced English to be used ?
